Updated and expanded, Bayesian Artificial Intelligence, Second Edition provides
a practical and accessible introduction to the main concepts, foundation, and
applications of Bayesian networks. It focuses on both the causal discovery of
networks and Bayesian inference procedures. Adopting a causal interpretation of
Bayesian networks, the authors discuss the use of Bayesian networks for causal
modeling. They also draw on their own applied research to illustrate various
applications of the technology.

New to the Second Edition

* New chapter on Bayesian network classifiers
* New section on object-oriented Bayesian networks
* New section that addresses foundational problems with causal discovery and
Markovblanket discovery
* New section that covers methods of evaluating causal discovery programs
* Discussions of many common modeling errors
* New applications and case studies
* More coverage on the uses of causal interventions to understand and reason
with causal Bayesian networks
* Illustrated with real case studies, the second edition of this bestseller
continues to cover the groundwork of Bayesian networks. It presents the elements
of Bayesian network technology, automated causal discovery, and learning
probabilities from data and shows how to employ these technologies to develop
probabilistic expert systems.
